I'm an adult with this condition, which went untreated as a child. So now i have a asymetrical face especially on the left side. Any parents watching should seek advice get treatment during the early years of your child's life.
My doc kept telling me my daughters flat spot would pop out. She’s 20 months and it never corrected itself lol. She has the same as this little guy at the back, flat on one side almost on an angle. It’s really noticeable when her hair is wet. When you look down on the top of her skull it’s almost like an asymmetrical gumdrop shape. I guess because her facial features were symmetrical they didn’t worry about it much but I wish I pushed for a helmet.
That's what the pediatrician told me to not worry about it will go on its own by the age of 6 months but I'm worried! My daughter doesn't have torticollis but her preference to one side has developed plagiocephaly.
My baby I think is getting to the point where I'm starting to see a slight difference in eye size. From the day he was born I noticed a difference in his skull from the right and left side. I brought it up to the pediatrician and she said, nobody is born perfectly symmetrical and my babies right side of the forehead was barely noticeable, but we'd keep an eye on it. She said it happened in utero. Well I began to notice the flatness on the back a couple of weeks ago, I've been adjusting his head as much as possible. Now what I've noticed in the past few days is that his veins on that right side have become very visible (is this normal?) and I've also felt a pea size lump on the back of his head (left side) We're going to see cranial tech in a couple of days but I'm still worried as I've seen another doctor on here say that they're starting to find certain delays in children who have used a helmet and I've also seen mamas in groups who have had their children misdiagnosed and it turns out being something more serious that needs surgery.

@@pediatricPTexercises 40 years ago, it was recommended, sleep on tummy. You didn’t see flat headed babies except for neglect, when parents left babies in car seats. If I’d laid my babies on back for sleeping, some them would have choked to death. They can’t properly spit up, not can the burp on their backs
I hear that you have strong opinions. However, they are not backed by the Research. I will be doing a video in the near future on this topic. Thank you for laying the groundwork for it.
@@dietschegroosmame3596two different times I woke up in the middle of the night to my first born choking on his spit up. One of the times it was really bad, as it was all in his nose and mouth. I heard a very light and quiet gurgling sound both times, so I understand where you're coming from. I've always laid my babies on their backs as I've been told. This time around my baby prefers his head to the right, which is why I'm here now.

Thank you so much for adding your comment
I'm with you mate, have a big head and am basically bald at 32. Whole head shifts to one side, mostly noticeably the forehead.

I have not seen the wearing of helmets to cause greater delays. I am glad you are getting an evaluation for your baby. I will keep you in my thoughts.
My daughter is 9 weeks old n can i treat her positional plagiocephaly without helmet?

My son is in type 5 because one side of the skull is raised. Will it be treated without helmet?
Depends on his age if it is a possibility. I recommend you get him assessed locally
My girl is in type 5
❤❤❤
Thank you!
Stop laying baby on its back!!! Common sense people!!!
Tummy time is recommended for play but back to sleep is safest for babies
